1. Introduction
Check Synchronising or System Synchronising is required whenever two parts of a power system network, each containing generation, have to be connected or re-connected together. To avoid shock loading and possible damage to primary electrical plant the voltage, frequency and phase angle difference between the two systems should be within acceptable limits relative to one another. Where the two systems have been previously interconnected before a circuit breaker (CB) was opened then the frequencies of the two systems will drift apart slowly and the phase angle difference will increase. Relatively large voltage and phase angle differences can be allowed with this slow slip rate since closing the CB will merely reconfigure the system to its previous state. The relay will detect these conditions and apply the Check Synchronising settings as limiting parameters. However, if the two systems are asynchronous and one system is an island of generation then a high rate of slip may result causing the two systems to pass through anti-phase conditions. The rate of slip between the frequencies of the two systems will be much higher and be outside of the Check Synchronising setting parameters. The relay will detect this system split condition, inhibit the Check Synchronising algorithms and automatically apply System Synchronising settings as limiting parameters. Typically, in this mode, there will be a narrower allowable phase angle difference and also closure of the CB will only be allowed under decreasing phase angle difference conditions.

System Split
The Argus 7 series Check and System synchronising relay is part of the comprehensive range of Argus platform based numeric relays. These relays have extensive control functions, which are supplemented by advanced metering, data storage and fibre optic communications. Supervisory and self-monitoring features give added confidence to the user as well as reduced maintenance and down time. A menu-based interface gives user-friendly access to relay settings, instrumentation and operational data. The relay conforms to NGTS 3.7.7 and the relevant IEC255 standards.

The Argus 7 series of relays are all housed in the Epsilon E4 size case. They consist of the following versions which differ only in their auxiliary and status supply voltages : Relay Article No. AG7-101 AG7-102 2732H30006 Nominal Aux. Volts 24/30/48VDC 110/220VDC 24/30/48VDC Status Volts 48VDC 48VDC 30VDC
All of the Argus range of relays share common hardware components and modules. The design for the mechanical arrangement of the relays has been carefully chosen to provide a high level of EMI screening using multi-layer PCBs with ground planes, RFI suppression components and earthed metal screens. The internal arrangement has been divided into noisy and quiet areas in order to improve noise immunity and reduce RFI emissions. The only direct connection from the quiet components to the external environment is via the optical serial communications interface, which is immune to radiated or conducted interference.
2.2
Analogue Inputs
The input stage of the Argus 7 relay measures two basic quantities, VLine and VBus. The voltage transformer inputs are suitable for either phase to phase or phase to neutral connections and the input stage measures over the range of 1 Vrms to 200 Vrms. It maintains accuracy within 1% over the range 5 Vrms to 132 Vrms. In order to ensure high accuracy true RMS measurements and accurate phase and slip frequency calculations, the voltage signals are sampled at 32 samples per cycle for both 50Hz and 60Hz system frequencies. The high sampling rate provides high accuracy and quality waveform storage records, which are stored at a rate of 16 samples per cycle.
2.3
Output Relays
The Argus 7 relay has 7 output relays in total, which are rated for handling breaker control duty. All 7 relays are fully user configurable and can be programmed to operate from any or all of the control functions. They consist of 1 C/O contact, 1 N/C contact and 5 N/O contacts. In their normal mode of operation output relays remain energised for at least 100ms. If required, however, outputs can be programmed to operate as latching relays. These latched outputs can be reset by either pressing the TEST/RESET button, by energising a status input or by sending an appropriate communications command. A trip test feature is provided to exercise the output contacts. Note :- When output relays are required to perform control functions such as circuit breaker closing, care must be taken in applying relay settings to ensure that the outputs do not latch unless specifically required to do so.
2.4
Status Inputs
There are a total of 4 status inputs available in the relay. All status inputs are fully user programmable and have associated pick-up and drop-off timers. These timers allow software filtering to be applied, which provides security in the presence of any induced a.c. voltages in the external wiring. If high-speed operation is required then the pick-up delay should be set to zero. Each of the status inputs can be programmed to perform one or more of the following functions : Start Check Synchronising. Start System Synchronising. Synchronising Bypass. Inhibit Check or System synchronising. Select an alternative settings group. Trigger storage of a waveform record.

Synchronise the real time clock. Reset the Lockout condition. Reset latched output relays. Energise an output relay. Raise an Alarm annunciation. Additionally, each status can have its logic inverted with the Status Invert feature.
2.5
Self Monitoring
The relay incorporates a number of self-monitoring features. Each of these features can initiate a controlled reset sequence, which can be used to generate an alarm output. In addition, the Protection Healthy LED will give visual indication. A watchdog timer continuously monitors the microprocessor and the relay program memory is continuously checked for data corruption using a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) routine. The voltage rails are also continuously supervised and the microprocessor is reset if any of the rails falls outside of their working ranges. Any failure is detected in sufficient time so that the micro can be shut down in a safe and controlled manner.

To bypass the synchronisation feature and issue a Bypass Close output the particular line and bus conditions have to be met and the Sync Bypass status input has to be energised. The Bypass Close output will stay on for the duration of the status input energisation and while the line and bus conditions are met. Alarms outputs can be generated from these conditions and these are dead line (DL), dead bus (DB), DL&LB, LL&DB, and DL&DB.
3.2
For the relay to issue a Check Sync Close the following conditions have to be met : CS PHASE ANGLE the phase difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the phase angle setting value. Whilst within the limits the phase angle can be increasing or decreasing and the element will still issue a valid close signal. CS SLIP TIMER, [If ENABLED] the phase angle and voltage blocking features have to be within their parameters for the duration of the slip timer setting. If either the phase angle or the voltage elements fall outside of their limits the slip timer is reset. If they subsequently come back in then the slip timer has to time out before a close output is given. (This ensures that a close output will not be given if there is a transient disturbance on the system due to e.g. some remote switching operations). CS SLIP FREQUENCY, [If ENABLED] the frequency difference between line and bus voltages has to be less than the slip frequency setting value. LINE U/V DETECTOR, [If ENABLED] the line voltage has to be above the line undervoltage setting value and also above 5V for an output to be given. BUS U/V DETECTOR, [If ENABLED] the bus voltage has to be above the bus undervoltage setting value and also above 5V for an output to be given. DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGE DETECTOR, [If ENABLED] the scalar difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the V detector setting value for an output to be given.
The Check Synchronising operation of the relay can be initiated in two different ways. This is set by the Check Sync Enable setting which has two parameters : AUTO and MANUAL.
Chapter 1 Page 8 of 23
AUTO : The relay will issue a Check Sync Close output automatically if the relevant conditions mentioned above are met. MANUAL : The relay will only issue a Check Sync Close output if the relevant conditions are met AND if it has received a command to do so. This command is issued via the Start Check Sync status input. (See also section 3.2.1 Close Guard Feature). Note : the Check Sync Close output relay will stay on for a minimum time of 100ms and for the whole duration of the time that the system parameters are met. Figure 3 illustrates the Check Sync Function logic.

A system split occurs where the opening of a CB disconnects two separate sections of a grid network. Since the two grid sources are not coupled the frequencies can drift apart even though the independent control systems employ the same reference frequency. A small drift in frequency can lead to a major phase angle difference. The system
Chapter 1 Page 9 of 23
split detector operates when the phase angle difference exceeds a pre-set value. The setting range for a system split is from 90 to 175 (setting step is 1). Note : the system split setting is effectively an absolute value and therefore a split will occur at the value regardless of the direction of the frequency slip e.g. if an angle of 170 is selected, then starting from 0, a split will occur at either +170 or -170 (effectively +190). The system split detector has an associated timer, the Split Timer which holds the system split output on for a minimum time set by the timer setting value. This can be used when interfacing with delayed autoreclose (DAR) schemes. If a system split occurs during a Check Sync operation and the System Split Detector has been enabled then the following events occur : The Check Sync function is inhibited. The System Sync function is started if the setting has been set to AUTO. If the System Sync function has been set to LOCKOUT, then, only a system split LED indication is given and the relay will be in lockout mode. The relay will stay in this lockout mode until one of the following methods of resetting it is performed: 1) The AC voltage supplies are removed and re-applied. 2) The Test/Reset button is pressed on the relay fascia. 3) A status input command is received. 4) An appropriate IEC870-5-103 communications command is received. An event is recorded. The split flag can be mapped to an output relay for alarm indication. The system split LED will stay on for the split timer delay time.
3.4
For the relay to issue a System Sync Close the following conditions have to be met : SS PHASE ANGLE the phase difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the phase angle setting value and the phase angle has to be decreasing before the element will issue a valid close signal. SS SLIP TIMER, [If ENABLED] the phase angle and voltage blocking features have to be within their parameters for the duration of the slip timer setting. If either the phase angle or the voltage elements fall outside of their limits the slip timer is reset. If they subsequently come back in then the slip timer has to time out before a close output is given. (This ensures that a close output will not be given if there is a transient disturbance on the system due to e.g. some remote switching operations). SS SLIP FREQUENCY, [If ENABLED] the frequency difference between line and bus has to be less than the slip frequency setting value. LINE U/V DETECTOR, [If ENABLED] the line voltage has to be above the line undervoltage setting value and also above 5V for an output to be given. BUS U/V DETECTOR, [If ENABLED] the bus voltage has to be above the line undervoltage setting value and also above 5V for an output to be given. DIFFERENTIAL VOLTAGE DETECTOR, [If ENABLED] the scalar difference between the line and bus voltages has to be less than the V detector setting value for an output to be given. The System Synchronising operation of the relay can be initiated in two different ways. This is set by the System Sync Enable setting which has three parameters : AUTO, MANUAL and LOCKOUT. AUTO : The relay will only start system synchronising after a split condition has occurred. It will issue a System Sync Close automatically if the relevant conditions are met. MANUAL : The relay will only start system synchronising after a split condition has occurred. It will only issue a System Sync Close output when it has received a command to do so. This command can be issued via the Start System Sync status input or it can come via the communications interface. (An ASDU20 general command can be used to start the System Sync function. This can be sent using REYDISP EVOLUTION [1] or via any communications network with IEC870-5-103 driver capability. For more information see [2] ). LOCKOUT : After a split has occurred the relay will go into lockout mode.(See section 3.3)
Chapter 1 Page 10 of 23
Note : the System Sync function has a close pulse timer, which is set by the SS Close Pulse setting. The System Sync Close output will be given for a minimum of 100ms or for the duration of the SS Close Pulse setting. Figure 4 overleaf illustrates the System Sync Function logic.

The Argus metering feature provides real-time data available from the relay fascia in the Instruments Mode or via the communications interface. The following displays are available : Primary RMS volts for both Line and Bus Secondary RMS volts for both Line and Bus Frequency of both Line and Bus Phase difference between Line and Bus Frequency slip between Line and Bus Phase - In / Out of limits Slip - In / Out of limits Line and Bus health status i.e. Live or Dead Voltage blocking element status Output relay status Digital input status General alarm screen Number of waveforms recorded Number of events stored Date - displayed in DD/MM/YY format Time - displayed in HH:MM:SS format Relay Mode :- This is a special instrument which shows the mode of operation of the relay and its particular state in a single display. This shows if the relay has been set as a Check synchroniser or as both a Check and System synchroniser. It also shows, in real-time, the health of the line and bus volts and the particular operational state i.e. whether it is check synchronising, system synchronising or in bypass or system split modes. Note : while the instrument displays are updated as often the software routines can service them, some have their response time deliberately slowed down to enable them to be read. The first four displays in the list, which show the analogue measurands have a response time of approximately 500ms. Figure 5 shows the display menu structure from where the available instruments can be accessed. Note that pressing the Test/Reset key can clear two of the instruments, waveforms and events.
4.2
Data Storage
Details of relay operation are recorded in three forms, namely Waveform records, Event records and Close Data records. All records are time and date stamped with a year 2000 compatible real time clock which maintains the time even when the relay is de-energised [see Note]. Time and date can be set either via the relay fascia using appropriate commands in the System Config menu or via the communications interface. In the latter case, relays connected in a network can be synchronised by a global time sync command. Alternatively, synchronising pulses can be received via a status input. To use this feature one of the status inputs has to be assigned to the Clock Sync feature in the Status Config menu. Additionally the Clock Sync Period setting in the System Config menu should be set to either seconds or minutes. If seconds are selected then the energisation of the selected status input will result in the clock being synchronised to the nearest second with the milliseconds set to zero. If minutes are selected, however, then the clock is synchronised to the nearest minute with both seconds and milliseconds set to zero. Note : the real-time clock, waveform records and event records are all maintained by the backup storage capacitor. This capacitor has the ability to maintain the charges on the real-time clock IC and the SRAM memory device for typically 2-3 weeks time duration. This time, however, is influenced by factors such as temperature and the age of the capacitor and could be shorter.

Communications
A fibre optic communication port is provided which gives superior EMC performance. Communication is compatible with the IEC870-5-103 FT 1.2 transmission and application standards. For communication with the relay via a PC (personal computer) a user-friendly software package, REYDISP EVOLUTION [1], is available to allow transfer of the following: Relay Settings Waveform Records Event Records Close Data Records

Any one or more of the Argus 7 instrument displays can be selected as a default display by pressing the ENTER key while viewing the particular display. When a display has been selected it shows a block on the top line of the LCD. To de-select simply press ENTER again which toggles it between on and off. Vline = 110.0V Vbus = 110.0V If no keys have been pressed for a pre-determined time the relay will jump to the default instrument display regardless of where the menu system has been left by the user. It will then scroll through each of the selected default instruments and remain on each for 5 seconds. The main timer which sets the time to elapse before the relay goes into the default instruments mode is found in the System Config Menu. This is the Default Screen Timer setting and it can be set to a range of values from 10 seconds to 1 hour. See the relay settings Section 3 of this manual. Argus 7 provides a General Alarm screen which can place user-defined messages of upto 13 characters in length onto the LCD. Alarms are triggered when a status input is energised and the display will jump to the general alarm screen automatically and display the message. The message appears on the LCD for the duration of the time that the status input is energised. The Argus 7 has 4 status inputs and so can have 4 different alarms to display. If more than one status input is energised then the alarm screen will scroll with the messages separated by a + sign. General Alarms << Alarm1 + Al<< To set up a general alarm requires the LCD message to be entered. This is input with the Set Alarm settings found in the System Config menu. Each general alarm screen has to then be assigned to a status input and this is done with the Alarm settings in the Status Config menu.
4.5
Argus relays provide eight alternative setting groups, making it possible to edit one group while the relay protection algorithms operate using another active group. An indication of which group is being viewed is given by the Gn character in the top left of the display. The relay can then be switched from one group of settings to another to cater for reconfiguration of the power system. Changeover will occur within 25 ms. A change of group can be achieved either locally at the relay fascia, remotely via a communication interface command or by energisation of a status input. In the case of the latter method, the Settings Group Select setting is used to configure any one (or more) of the status inputs to select a settings group. The selected group is then made active if the status input is energised and remains active for as long as the input remains energised.
4.6
Password Feature
The programmable password feature enables the user to enter a 4 character alpha-numeric code to secure access to the relay settings. The relay is supplied with the password set to NONE which means that the password feature is not activated. Once a password has been entered then it will be required thereafter to change settings. It can, however, be de-activated by using the password to gain access and by resetting it back to NONE. As soon as the user attempts to change a setting the password is requested before any setting alterations are allowed. Once the password has been validated, the user is logged on and any further changes can be made without re-entering the password. If no more changes are made within 1 hour then the user will automatically be logged off, re-enabling the password feature. Note that the password validation screen also displays a numerical code. If the password is lost or forgotten, this code can be communicated to Reyrolle Protection by authorised personnel, and the password can be retrieved.

User Interface
The user interface is designed to provide a user-friendly method of entering settings and retrieving data from the relay. The relay fascia includes a 16 character by 2 line, backlit, liquid crystal display (LCD), 3 light emitting diodes (LED) and 5 push buttons. Figure 6 shows the Argus 7 fascia.
5.1
The liquid crystal display is used to present settings, instrumentation and close data in a textual format. To conserve power the display backlighting is turned off if no push buttons are pressed for 5 minutes. After one hour the whole display is de-activated except if the display is left in the Instruments Mode where it remain visible permanently. This is so that instruments such as voltages can be displayed continuously. Also, if any default instruments have been selected then the display will not power down, only the backlight will turn off. Once the backlight is off, any following key press will turn the backlight on without changing the display.
5.2
LED Indications
The following indications are provided : Relay Healthy Green LED. This LED is solidly illuminated to indicate that DC volts have been applied to the relay and that the relay is operating correctly. If the internal relay watchdog detects a permanent fault then this LED will continuously flash. Check / System Sync Yellow LED. This indicates that a Check Sync or System Sync output is being issued. System Split Red LED This LED indicates when a system split occurs, i.e. whenever the phase angles are within the system split limits. If the system split timer is set to 0 seconds, then the LED will reset as soon as the phases fall outside of the system split limits. Otherwise the LED will stay on for the system split timer setting time and reset after this. If the relay has been set up as a Check synchroniser only and not Check and System synchroniser then, if a system split occurs, the system split LED will remain on until the Test/Reset button is pressed, or, the voltage supplies are removed and re-applied.

The bottom line of the LCD can be changed to some user-definable identifier or code if preferred. Pressing the key on this display initiates an LED test. Pressing modes which are accessed in turn by pressing the key. at this display allows access to the three display
The Settings Mode contains 8 setting sub-menus. These hold all of the programmable settings of the relay in separate logical groups. The sub menus are accessed by pressing the key. This enters the sub menu and presents a list of all the settings within that sub menu. Pressing the key scrolls through the settings until after the last setting in the group the next sub menu is presented. Access to this group is via the same method as before. If a particular sub menu is not required to be viewed then pressing the key will skip past that particular menu and present the next one in the list. Note that all screens can be viewed even if the password is not known. The password only protects against unauthorised changes to settings. While viewing an editable screen pressing the ENTER key allows the user to change the displayed data. The editable field will be indicated by a flashing character(s). Pressing or scrolls through the available setting values or, pressing the key moves right through the edit fields. Note that all settings can be incremented or decremented using the or keys and they all wrap-around so that to go from e.g. a setting minimum value to the maximum value it is quicker to press the key, rather than scroll up through every setting. Also, to facilitate quicker setting changes an acceleration feature is employed which if or are depressed and held, then the rate of scrolling through the setting values increases. If CANCEL is pressed during a setting change operation the original setting value is restored and the display is returned to the normal view mode. If changes are made to the setting value then pressing ENTER disables the flashing character mode and displays the new setting value. This is immediately stored in non-volatile memory. The next sections give a description of each setting in the relay. The actual setting ranges and default values can be found in the Relay Settings section of this manual. Note : the relay exhibits a method of hiding settings which are not relevant to a particular customer scheme which is known as setting dependencies. Some settings are dependant on others and if a function is not enabled then associated settings are not displayed e.g. if there is no requirement for sync bypass then the setting Gn Sync Bypass should be set to OFF. This automatically removes the Gn Bypass Close option from the Output Relay Config. Menu because it is not required. Another example is the System Split Detector. If this is set to OFF then the System Split Timer is not displayed as it is not required. There are many examples of setting dependencies and care must be taken to ensure a function is enabled before looking for other associated settings which otherwise would be hidden. The following list of settings shows all possible settings that can be displayed.

NB Status operating voltage need not be the same as the main energising voltage. For 110/125 volt or 220/250 volt working , a standard Argus relay with 48/54 volt status will be supplied for use with external dropper resistors as follows:Status Input External Resistances Nominal Voltage 110 / 125V 220 / 250V Status Input Performance Minimum DC current for operation Reset/Operate Voltage Ratio Typical response time Typical response time when programmed to energise an output relay contact Minimum pulse duration Resistor Value (Wattage) 2k7 5% ; (2.5W) 8k2 5% ; (6.0W)
Each status input has an associated timer which can be programmed to give time delayed pick-up and time delayed drop-off. The pick-up timers have default settings of 20ms, thus providing immunity to an AC input signal. Status inputs will not respond to the following: 250V RMS 50/60Hz applied for two seconds through a 0.1F capacitor. 500V RMS 50/60Hz applied between each terminal and earth. Discharge of a 10F capacitor charged to maximum DC auxiliary supply voltage. The inputs meet the requirements of ESI48-4 ESI 1.

1. Introduction
This document describes how to connect the IEC870-5-103 compliant communications interface to a control system or interrogating computer. To access the interface the user will need appropriate software within the control system or on the interrogating computer (e.g. Reydisp Evolution).
2.1.Recommended cable
Selection of fibre optic cable is critical. Fibres should be terminated with 9mm SMA connectors. The recommended type is 200m Plastic Coated Silica (PCS). This will allow a maximum transmission distance of 100m between Argus relays. It will also be the maximum distance between the ring network and the fibre to RS232 converter. Alternatively, 1mm polymer cable may be used to reduce cost. This will provide transmission distances of up to 43m between relays. Note that the distance from the transmit output of the RS232 / fibre optic converter to the receive input of the first Argus relay should be not more than 6m. The distance from the transmit output of the last Argus to the receive input of the converter may be up to 43m. No other types of cable are suitable for use with Argus relays.
2.3.Transmission Method
The transmission method is Half Duplex serial asynchronous transmission. In IEC 870-5-103 the line idle state is defined as Light ON. This can alternatively be selected as Light OFF in the Communications Interface menu of the relay if required for use with alternate hardware (See Section 2.5).
2.4.Transmission Rate
Rates of 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 1200, 600, 300, 150, 110 and 75 bits per second (BPS) are provided. Only 19200 and 9600 BPS are standard in IEC 870-5-103, the additional rates are provided for local or modem communications.
Chapter 4 Page 4 of 9
1.
The Sigma 3 Dual RS232 port provides a fibre-optic interface to a relay and two RS232 ports. The RS232 system port is typically connected to a control system while the second port is a local port. When the local port is in use the system port is automatically disabled. The Sigma 3 has an internal link to switch between line idle Light ON or Light OFF. The default configuration is Light OFF. The Sigma 1 Passive Fibre-Optic Hub provides fibre-optic interfaces for up to 29 relays. It has a fibre-optic port to the control system and multiple relay connections. Each of the 30 fibre-optic ports can be configured for either Light ON or Light OFF operation. Default for all is OFF.
2.
2.6.Parity Setting
IEC 870-5-103 defines the method of transmission as using EVEN Parity. However, in some instances an alternative may be required. This option allows the parity to be set to NONE.
2.7.Address Setting
The address of the relay must be set to a value between 1 and 254 inclusive before any communication can take place. Setting the address to zero disables communications to the relay, although if it is in an optical ring it will still obey the Data Echo setting. All relays in an optical ring must have a unique address. Address 255 is reserved as a global broadcast address.
3. Modems
The communications interface has been designed to allow data transfer via modems. However, IEC 870-5103 defines the data transfer protocol as an 11 bit format of 1 start, 1 stop, 8 data and 1 parity bit which is a mode most commercial modems do not support. High performance modems, for example, Sonix (now 3Com), Volante and MultiTech Systems MT series will support this mode but are expensive. For this reason a parity setting (see section 2.6) to allow use of easily available and relatively inexpensive commercial modems has been provided. The downside to using no parity is that the data security will be reduced slightly and the system will not be compatible with true IEC870 control systems.
Fibre-Optic Converter Tx Rx
Relay Connection Rx Tx
Chapter 4 Page 5 of 9
Since the modem needs to be transparent, simply passing on the data sent from the controller to the device and vice versa, the error correction and buffering must be turned off. In addition if possible force the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) setting to ON as this control line will be used by the fibre-optic converter. Finally these settings should be stored in the modems memory for power on defaults.
Chapter 4 Page 6 of 9
Appendix A Communication Connections Figures 1 to 6 illustrate a number of methods of connecting relays in communications networks. (Note that in the case of the optical ring configuration (figure 5), the Data Echo feature must be switched ON in the communications settings menu of the relay. In all other cases this setting should be set to OFF).

1 Introduction
Argus 7 is a combined check and system synchronising relay which can automatically select check or system synchronise, as appropriate, from measurements of the relative phase angles between the line and bus voltages. The relay will prevent closure of the circuit breaker if the phase angle, slip frequency or the voltage magnitudes of the incoming and running voltages fall outside prescribed limits. If these calculated quantities are within the relays setting limits the relay will issue an output which can be used to close the circuit breaker directly or in conjunction with an autoreclose scheme. Both the check and system synchronise functions have independent settings and blocking features. The relay also includes split system detection with a variable time delay, which can be used for blocking purposes within delayed autoreclose (DAR) schemes. Synchronising bypass logic is provided to connect a dead line or bus to a live line or bus. For manual synchronising the relay includes a circuit breaker close guard feature which is used to prevent the control switch being held closed during a synchronising operation. This feature is implemented using internal logic and removes the need for an external guard relay.
1.
Set CS Enable to MANUAL (or AUTO) Set System Split Detector to OFF
Setting the split detector to OFF will ensure that the relay never goes into system synchronising mode. The relay will continue to issue a check sync close if the power system conditions fall within the relay setting parameters. If the requirement is for a check and system synchronising scheme where a lockout of the relay is required if the system splits, then

2.
Set CS Enable to MANUAL (or AUTO) Set System Split Detector to a suitable angle e.g. 170 Set SS Enable to LOCKOUT
This will ensure that if the power system splits the relay will not go into system synchronising mode but revert to lockout mode. The relay will at this point issue a lockout alarm via the LCD and generate an Event Record. If the requirement is for a check and system synchronising scheme where system synchronising is required if the system splits, then 3. Set CS Enable to MANUAL (or AUTO) Set System Split Detector to a suitable angle e.g. 170 Set SS Enable to MANUAL (or AUTO) This will ensure that if the power system splits the relay will system synchronise. It should be noted that at any time during a synchronising sequence, the relay can be inhibited from operation using the Check Sync Inhibit or System Sync Inhibit command from the control system. Note : the relay settings groups could be used to switch between the different modes of the relay. The relay could be set up to be a check synchroniser in settings Group 1 and a check and system synchronising relay in settings Group 2. The group selection and thus the actual relay mode of operation could then be changed remotely using a status input signal or a communications command from a control system.
When the Check Sync close status input is received, internal logic will only allow the relay to issue a close if the system conditions were in synchronism and the relay was issuing a Check Sync close before the status input was activated.

Note : when using the undervoltage elements care should be taken to ensure that the reset of the element occurs at below the expected minimum operating voltage of the system. The undervoltage elements reset at <103% of the operate level. If the system is expected to run at less than the rated voltage, the undervoltage element reset level must be set to operate at a value below this plus a discrimination margin. e.g. - for a phase to neutral connection nominally at 63.5 Vrms but which can run as low as 59 Vrms, the undervoltage setting should be set no higher than 59 V 1 V (margin) = 58V / 103% = 56.31V (the actual setting would have to be 56.5V). This is equivalent to approximately 89% of rated voltage. If the setting is set higher than this then the element may never reset and will continuously block.

where Td = time delay setting and

For system synchronising operation the following formula is used because in this mode the relay will only issue a close signal if the phase angle is decreasing in value. It will not issue a close if the phase angle is increasing in value.

The Argus 7 relay has both a frequency measuring element and phase detector and so can be set up to measure slip either directly or by the phase detector plus timer method. Use of either method is perfectly valid, as is use of both at the same time. Note : if using both the slip frequency detector and the phase angle plus slip timer for a particular scheme then care has to be taken in setting selection. It is possible to set the relay up with an incorrect slip timer setting which will prevent the relay from issuing a valid close signal. e.g. - a system with a high rate of slip which is within the allowable slip frequency limit, could be set up with too long a slip timer setting. This would mean that the incoming vector could pass through the valid close window too quickly and not allow the slip timer to time out and give a valid output.

synchronising mode. The allowable phase angle close window is usually set much narrower than for check synchronising operation. Also, the close decision from the relay is only given in the case of the phase angle decreasing. It will not issue a close if the phase angle is increasing in value. Typically the slip frequency will be set to a limit of 250mHz or less and the phase angle to 10 or 15. Table 3 shows some possible system synchronising settings for limits of 100mHz and 250mHz. Note that due to the step resolution of the timer, an exact 100mHz or 250mHz slip limit is not always achievable. SS Phase Angle Setting ( 10 15 10 15 SS Slip Timer Setting (sec) 0.3 0.4 0.1 0.2 Slip Frequency Limit (mHz) 92.59 104.17 277.78 208.33
Table 3 - Typical System Synchronising Settings Alternatively, if the slip frequency detector is used and the slip timer turned OFF, settings of 100mHz or 250mHz could be applied to the slip frequency detector directly to achieve the same ends. Note : the system sync close output pulse is on for a minimum of 100 ms but can be extended if necessary by using the SS Close Pulse setting.
2.10
In Check Synchronising operation the relay will issue a Check Sync close if the system conditions are such that the phase angle and slip frequency are within limits. There is a possibility, however, that a Check Sync close could be issued at a point where the phase angle is approaching the angular limits, say + 20, and the slip frequency is at the maximum allowable value. The consequence of this is that due to the inherent closing time of the CB the actual CB close occurs outside of the phase angle limits. The angle overshoot being dependent on the actual slip frequency and the total CB closing delay. The total delays involved in this process include the main software timing loop which issues the close command, the output relay time to pick up and the actual breaker closing time delays. To reduce the risk of a late closure it is common practice to set the slip timer setting (Td) to typically 10x the CB closing time. This will ensure that the CB will close no later than 1.2x the actual phase angle setting of the relay e.g. 24 for a 20 setting. e.g. :The change in phase angle between two waveforms is directly related to the frequency difference, or slip, between them. The change in phase angle for a system with 1Hz slip is 360 in 1 second. Thus, Change in phase angle
The distance the phasor can travel during the breaker close time can therefore be given by,
= (Slip 360 t CB )
Slip = =
1 Td 180
= (Slip 360 t CB )
= 2 t CB Td
1 360 t CB Td 180
which gives
It was stated that the slip timer setting Td should be set to 10x the breaker closing time tCB. Substituting for this in the above equation gives,
(2 )
10
or
= 0.2
Thus for a slip timer setting (Td) of 10x breaker closing time (tCB) the actual change in phase angle will be 20% of the phase angle setting. The maximum closing angle will be 120% of phase angle setting.
Chapter 5 Page 7 of 10
In practice, however, the relay operating times need to be taken into consideration. A typical example now follows : - Maximum allowed phase angle for closure = 30. - Circuit breaker closure time = 150ms. - Maximum relay delays : Software timing loop + Output relay delays = 5ms + 7ms = 12ms. Therefore slip timer time delay should be set to 10x (150ms + 12ms) = 1.62sec. In practice this will have to be set to 1.6sec due to the resolution of the slip timer. The phase angle setting should be set to 80% of the maximum allowable closing angle, which is 24. If the relay was to issue a close right on the boundary of 24 30. then the breaker will not close outside of
With an angle of 24 and a slip timer delay (Td) of 1.6sec, using the equation from section 2.7, the slip is therefore, 24 / (1.6 x 180) = 83mHz. If the relay were to close on the boundary the phase angle traversed in the 160ms total delay time is given by,

2 INSPECTION
Check that the relay has not been damaged in any way since being installed into the panel. Remove the relay from the case and check that the serial numbers of the relay and the case are all identical. Check also that the relay is the correct model and that the rating is correct. Ensure that all connections are tight and in accordance with the relay wiring diagram or the scheme diagram. Replace the relay back into the case and check that it is fully inserted. Ensure that the relay case is solidly bonded to a local earth point by checking the earthing connection to the case.
3 APPLYING SETTINGS
Before applying settings to the relay the engineers should take time out to familiarise themselves with the relays menu system. Section 1 and section 3 of this manual are helpful in this respect. The relay settings for the particular application should be applied before any secondary testing occurs. If they are not available then the relay has default settings which can be used for pre-commissioning tests. See section 3 of this manual for a list of the relay default settings. Settings can be entered into the relay using the keypad on the front of the relay or they can be sent to the relay, from a file, using a portable PC and Reydisp Evolution software package. Argus 7 relays feature eight alternative setting groups. In applications where more than one setting group is to be used then it may be necessary to test the relay in more than one configuration. Note :- one settings group may be used to retain test settings. When using setting groups it is important to remember that the relay may not necessarily be operating from the settings which are currently being displayed. There is an Active Settings Group on which the relay operates and a Settings Group Edit/View which allows the settings in one group to be viewed and altered while protection continues to operate on a different unaffected group. The Active Settings Group and the Settings Group Edit/View are selected in the System Configuration Menu. Settings should not be altered in the Active Settings Group while the relay is in service unless other precautions, such as removing system links to prevent operation, are taken.
4 PRECAUTIONS
Before testing commences the relay should be isolated from the voltage transformers in line with the local site procedures. The closing and alarm circuits should also be isolated where practical. Ensure that the correct d.c. auxiliary voltage is applied to the circuit. See the relevant scheme diagrams for the relay connections.
5 TESTS
5.1 Insulation
When required, insulation tests to check the relay and associated wiring can be performed using a 500V electronic insulation resistance test set. The wiring may be tested between :1. All electrically isolated circuits. 2. All circuits to earth.
Chapter 7 Page 3 of 7
Accessible terminals of the same circuit should be connected together and deliberate circuit earthing links removed for the tests. Normal connections must be restored after testing. Satisfactory values for the various readings above depend upon the amount of wiring concerned. Where considerable multi-core wiring is involved a reading of 2.5 to 3.0 M can be considered satisfactory. For short lengths of wiring higher values can be expected. A value of 1.0 M should not be considered satisfactory and should be investigated. We do not recommend a 2KV site pressure test on the secondary wiring with relays connected. If this has to be carried out then, as above, deliberate earth links must be removed. Note that both the positive and negative feeds to the relays DC/DC converter are earthed via 5KV capacitors and the leakage current of these capacitors may trip the 2KV pressure test set. Also note that the capacitance effect of the secondary wiring may give rise to test set calibration errors that give impressed voltages higher than measured. To avoid this phenomenon, the pressure test set used should have the metering on the secondary (high voltage) side. Suitable test sets are manufactured by T&R Test Equipment (Type KV5 100). All Reyrolle relays are comprehensively pressure tested during manufacture.
Note : when finished testing the output relays make sure that the Relay healthy is reassigned to the correct output relay given in the settings file.

claims, and its operation under all service conditions is guaranteed. However, if added confidence is required, then the following elements can be checked. Note that the relay should be commissioned with the actual settings calculated for the particular scheme. 1. Phase Angle Tests The CS Phase Angle detector and the SS Phase Angle detector can be tested in the following way : Apply nominal volts to both the line and bus input terminals of the relay. On initial turn on, the relay will start in check synchronising mode. If the voltage vectors are displaced by an amount greater than the CS Phase Angle setting but not as much as the System Split Detector angle then the relay will stay in check synchronising mode. Using the instruments display, locate the Phase and Slip instruments as shown below :
Slowly decrease the phase angle difference and check the pick up where the Phase displays CS In. Then slowly increase the phase angle and check the drop off where Phase displays CS Out. The pick up and drop off values should fall within the performance claims given in Section 2 - Performance Specification. Repeat for opposite angles. Note : the phase angle should be adjusted slowly so that the LCD has time to update. The instrument has a 0.5 sec delay on updating. Monitoring may also be done using the output contacts. This test should be repeated for the system synchronising settings. This is best carried out by increasing the phase angle until a split occurs and then bringing the angles in. The split will cause the relay to go into system synchronising mode. The results can be put into Table 1 at the back of this section. 2. Slip Frequency Tests The CS Slip Frequency detector and SS Slip Frequency detector elements are more difficult to test and require variable frequency sources. A portable relay test set with fixed and variable frequency voltage source output is ideal for this. Depending on the relay scheme settings it may be difficult to test the CS and SS slip frequency elements independently without adjusting the settings. To test the CS Slip Frequency element turn the System Split Detector to OFF. This will ensure that a split is not initiated and the relay stays in check sync mode. Increase the frequency slip to a value outside of the slip frequency limits and then slowly reduce it until the element picks up. This will be indicated on the same instrument as above. Slip should display CS In. Gradually increase the slip until the element drops off as indicated by CS Out. Record the results in Table 2. To test the SS Slip Frequency element turn the System Split Detector back to the value required for the scheme. Turn CS Slip Frequency element to OFF. Increase the phase angle until a split occurs and then repeat the above tests but checking for SS In and SS Out. Record the results in Table 2. All the results should fall within the performance claims given in Section 2 Performance Specification chapter 6. Note : remember to return all settings back to the original scheme settings if they have been changed. 3. Timer Tests The slip timers can be tested by setting the angle between the two voltages to a value outside of the phase angle settings. Reduce the phase angle to zero and the output should not close until after the slip timer has timed out. In practice however, the timers are difficult to test without specialist test equipment and test software. There are three recommended methods : 1. Apply in phase nominal volts to the relay. The relay will issue a close only after the slip timer has timed out. Note, however, that the relay has a start-up timer of 960ms which is the minimum time before an output is given. This start-up timer effectively runs in parallel with the slip timer. If for example a CS Slip Time of 2.0sec has been selected then the time for close will be 2.0sec. If however, 0.5sec has been selected then the time for close will be 0.960sec. 2. Apply in phase volts to the relay at a level above the 5V blocking level but below the undervoltage blocking element level. The relay will time through the start-up timer. If the volts are then increased to nominal then the relay will close after the set slip time. If 0.5sec has been selected then the relay will close after 0.5sec. All results should fall within the performance claims given in chapter 2 Performance Specification. 3. Using Reydisp Evolution software the event records will give accurate times for all of the timing events within the relay. The following events were extracted from a relay which had the CS Slip Timer set to 1.0 sec. When the phase angle moved inside the close window the actual close output was given after a time of 1.005 seconds. 00:27:41.310 , 01/01/99 Rey Raised Phase In Sync 00:27:42.315 , 01/01/99 Rey Raised Check Sync Close The split timer can be tested in the following way. Apply nominal in phase volts to both of the voltage inputs. Cause a system split to occur by displacing the vectors by the System Split Detector setting and then turn both volts off. The system split output contact will then stay on for a time set by the System Split Timer setting. Record all results in Table 3.
Chapter 7 Page 5 of 7
4. Voltage Level Detectors Check the pick up and drop off levels for the voltage level detector elements. Individually ramp up and down the line and bus volts and examine the Line/Bus Status instrument to see where the elements actually operate. Record the results in Table 4. 5. Undervoltage Elements Check the pick up and drop off levels for both the line undervoltage and bus undervoltage blocking elements. Examine the Volt Blocking instrument to see where the elements actually operate. Record the results in Table 4. 6. Differential Voltage Elements Check the pick up and drop off levels for the differential voltage blocking element. Examine the Volt Blocking instrument to see where the elements actually operate. Record the results in Table 4. All results should fall within the performance claims given in chapter 2 Performance Specification.
